While carving the jade carefully, Lana even added a special symbol behind the amulet specifically for Conrad.
Soon afterward, she finally returned downstairs.
At that mont, Conrad was quietly looking around the hall as though anxiously waiting for sothing.
The instant he saw Lana appear, holding the jade amulet, his entire expression visibly relaxed.
He even looked slightly excited.
Lana walked toward him before placing the cool jade artifact gently into his hand.
"This one is a little special," she said softly.
The mont Conrad heard those words, his eyes imdiately sparkled brightly.
He quickly examined the jade amulet carefully.
When he noticed the specially carved symbol hidden behind it, his lips unconsciously curled upward into a satisfied smile.
After all, when he previously saw Axel’s artifact, there had only been an "A" carved subtly into the corner.
But now... Lana had personally carved a "C" into his.
The realization instantly placed him in an incredibly good mood.
Seeing his reaction, Lana suddenly chuckled softly. "You don’t need to pay for it."
However, the mont those words fell, Conrad imdiately frowned seriously before shaking his head.
"No. I still need to pay for it."
Lana thought for a mont before suddenly smiling mysteriously.
"Instead of paying with money..."
Conrad looked at her curiously.
"How about paying with your ti instead?"
Hearing that, Conrad visibly faltered. "My ti?"
Lana nodded playfully. "I have a special program planned."
A mischievous glint flashed through her eyes.
"So prepare yourself this Sunday. We’re going out together."
The mont Conrad heard that invitation, he agreed almost instantly without even thinking.
Honestly... compared to the artifact itself, what made him happiest was sothing else entirely.
That sa day, the entire Peterson Corporation witnessed an extrely shocking sight.
Their usually cold and untouchable boss, Conrad Peterson, had suddenly started wearing a jade amulet from one of the most affordable talisman shops in the city.
And throughout the entire day... the corners of his lips never stopped curling upward slightly.
Nobody inside Peterson Corporation could understand what exactly was happening.
After all, Conrad Peterson was soone who could effortlessly obtain the rarest artifacts and most expensive talismans in existence if he truly wanted them.
Yet sohow, their cold and untouchable CEO had suddenly started wearing a jade amulet purchased from Lana’s relatively affordable talisman shop.
The entire situation felt surreal.
However, while the employees remained confused, Lana’s talisman shop suddenly experienced a terrifying surge in sales overnight.
The number of jade amulets and talismans being sold increased so rapidly that even the website nearly crashed several tis from excessive traffic.
Many people clearly wanted to follow Conrad’s trend.
And honestly speaking, compared to the absurdly overpriced artifacts sold elsewhere, Lana’s products were surprisingly affordable while still maintaining extrely high quality.
Because of this, countless custors imdiately flooded toward her store.
anwhile, Conrad himself sat calmly inside his luxurious office while handling work docunts.
Soon, the office door opened gently.
His assistant, Sally, entered while carrying several important files.
However, the mont her eyes landed on the jade amulet around Conrad’s neck, she visibly paused.
Then she suddenly chuckled softly.
"Boss," she teased lightly, "was that gifted by your little sister?"
The mont she asked that question, a faint trace of satisfaction imdiately flashed through Conrad’s eyes.
He calmly nodded. "It was indeed a gift."
Not only did his tone sound unusually proud, but he even added another sentence deliberately.
"She didn’t even take a single dollar from ."
As if that alone was not enough, Conrad continued bragging shalessly.
"There’s even a special customization carved specifically for ."
The mont he proudly spoke those words, Sally’s lips twitched slightly.
"Oh?" she replied dryly. "Is that so?"
Hearing the faint trace of envy in her voice, Conrad beca even more satisfied.
"Yes," he replied calmly before adding another stab intentionally, "but don’t feel jealous. If you also had such a talented little sister, perhaps you could wear sothing this good as well."
Even though his words sounded casual on the surface, the underlying tone practically scread superiority.
Sally imdiately took a deep breath.
’Why is the boss suddenly acting like an annoying older brother showing off his family mber?’
Suppressing her irritation, she quickly placed several docunts onto the desk.
"Boss, these files still need your signature."
Conrad signed them casually while remaining in an unusually good mood.
Then, after a brief pause, he suddenly looked toward her again.
"If you really like it that much, I can ask my sister to make an exception and reserve one for you imdiately."
The mont he said that, Sally instantly refused.
"No need," she replied calmly. "I’ll simply order one directly from the website."
Conrad nodded slightly. "If you can even get one now."
His lips curled upward faintly.
"After all, the website has beco extrely popular."
Sally nearly lost her composure hearing that obvious brag.
At this point, she genuinely wanted to leave the office imdiately.
Honestly... her boss had suddenly beco incredibly irritating.
And unfortunately for everyone else... Sally was not the only victim.
Throughout the entire day, Conrad constantly bragged about the jade amulet to nearly everyone around him.
Even several business partners beca ntally exhausted listening to him repeatedly ntion it.
At one point, Conrad had even personally sent ssages to many important figures within his business circle.
The contents were shockingly simple.
"This jade amulet was personally gifted to for free."
To make matters worse, he emphasized repeatedly that it had specifically co from his younger sister.
It was almost as though he considered receiving a handmade artifact from her the greatest achievent of his life.
His business partners nearly felt like crying internally.
Yet despite their suffering, they still forced themselves to praise him politely.
Because of Conrad’s deliberate wording, many of them naturally misunderstood the situation completely.
They all assud Thessy was the one who created the jade artifact for him.
As a result, several people imdiately began ssaging Thessy directly.
"You’re truly amazing."
"We had no idea you could even craft talismans personally."
